[PATCH RFC 4/5] arm64: dts: qcom: msm8916: Enable modem on two phones

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



DO NOT APPLY - this is just an example to show the motivation for the
patch series. For clarity only some of the device trees are updated.

On MSM8916 there are different independent firmware regions, e.g. for
the modem (mpss), WiFi/Bluetooth (wcnss) or video acceleration (venus).
They need a specific size but the address is relocatable within a
certain memory region as long as the necessary alignment is respected.

The modem firmware size varies from device to device depending on the
available functionality. Right now msm8916.dtsi specifies the firmware
sizes for the DragonBoard 410c SBC, which has smaller firmware because
the modem firmware only implements GPS but not LTE etc.

The modem firmware is much larger on actual smartphones. Unfortunately,
changing the modem/mpss reserved memory size requires shifting all
following reserved memory regions to new addresses as well, even though
the size for the wcnss/venus firmware is the same for all devices.

This introduces quite a lot of churn with many magic addresses and room
for errors. Only two devices are shown in the example below, but similar
diffs would need to be applied to 30+ more similar MSM8916 device trees.

Note that msm8916-longcheer-l8150 is a single exception where the wcnss
firmware is not relocatable and must be loaded at a specific address.
It is included here to show that the dynamic reserved memory allocation
in the next patch handles this automatically.
